Maureen Scanlon

……..

I know what
it’s like to feel like stuck. I’ve been in not-so-happy marriages, hated my job and the future it held in store, and have struggled to meet financial freedom.

BUT THAT HASN’T STOPPED ME FROM LIVING UP TO MY OWN POTENTIAL.

Through my experiences, I’ve learned that changing negative thinking and gaining the tools needed to persevere, it’s never too late to find your calling.

THAT’S WHY, INSTEAD OF WAITING AROUND, I TOOK ACTION AND MADE THE NECESSARY STEPS TO EXPAND MY SKILLS, AND ULTIMATELY, LIVE A BETTER LIFE.

I began working on improving my communication and enhancing relationships, setting goals and accountability, and nourished my spirituality and well-being. I began meditating, thinking outside-the-box, and using solution-driven techniques for a more meaningful life.

THE END RESULT? A FULFILLED ME.

But now it’s your turn.

Whether it’s a relationship with your spouse, family, work, or yourself, I’m here to help you live free of anxiety, resentment, anger, self-doubt, and fear.

“HELP ME EMBELLISH MY PASSION FOR PEOPLE AND I WILL HELP YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR LIFE ALL OVER AGAIN.”

Let’s start clarifying your goals, discovering the best in yourself, and establishing lasting change so YOU can be on the road to happiness you never knew you could reach!
Call 480-258-9765 or contact me here to get started!

>>>>>>
HOW SHE CAN HELP:

I’m a confidence and relationship coach with a passion for helping YOU help yourself. No, I’m not here to focus on your problems and life struggles. I want to help relieve you of any negativity and concentrate on what’s right. If you find yourself wanting more out of life and have an appetite for moving forward and improving yourself, chances are, you’re ready to take it to the next level. Now let’s begin your path to spirituality, healthy relationships, self-awareness, and clarity!

 

It’s never too late to dream a new dream. Love yourself, show compassion, and become the person you want to meet.

Why Cat Was MIA – My Public Warning About How Serious CAT BITES Can Be! My Nightmare Last Week…

…..

BE CAREFUL IF YOU HAVE KITTY CATS AS PETS

Many of you know I am a CAT LOVER.
I have 3 Kitty Cats and yes, Mr. Boots is in CAT JAIL! LOL.
BUT? WILL I BE ABLE To WRITE AGAIN??

 

Since last Friday night? I look at my cats in a whole new light. And even after what I share with you, I can honestly say? I still love my Mr. Boots even after all this!

So, last Friday night Boots was sitting to the left of me on my chair armrest. Next to that was a round end table that has metal slates that run down to the bottom. Well, Boots paw caught in a slate up top and right underneath the table and began to freak out!!

I was trying to help get his paw out and he freaked out even more and began to bite my left fingers and then turned and chomped on the right side as he was screaming as I’m trying to prevent him from ripping off his nail from his paw or breaking his leg!!

MY Mistake #1 was having my hands by his face as I should have had one in the middle and back of his body.  Long story short there was blood everywhere and I freaked out. So I cleaned my hands with warm soapy water and started using peroxide and ointment and placed large bandaids on all the bites and cuts.

That was around 8:30 PM. My fingers were hurting and throbbing. Went to bed at about 11 PM. When I woke up the next morning I had a fever and my hands and fingers were SO Swollen like balloons!!

That is how fast the infection set in and just beginning to seep in my bloodstream.

So I called my sister-in-law to drop me off at ER and knowing I’d be there a few hours I would call my hubby when he got home from work to pick me up when I was done.

Well, that didn’t happen. After hand scans and x-rays, loads of blood taken, they admitted me to the hospital!!!! WHAT?? For just a few cat bites??? I freaked out because I have Agoraphobia and it took ALL I could muster just to GO to the ER by myself as hubby was at work till.

MY CAT HAD DONE THIS By turning into a Tiger!?

…..
Image result for mean tiger images

…….

Needless to stay I was in the hospital for 5 days. AND? The next morning on Sunday? Fingers and Left-Hand Surgery!!! WHAT???
Because of some Cat Bites??? OMG!

And here is why I know all my author, writer, and blogger friends will understand. Having surgery on my hands and fingers? WILL I BE ABLE To WRITE AGAIN??

It is how I make a living! Besides book promoting and marketing authors books and my own, I also write articles and blog posts and write just about every day! I’m going stir crazy already and my follow up with the plastic surgeon yesterday …He says my left index finger may need more surgery.

And? Yes, my neighbor is writing this post for me! LOL.

So, after Sundays surgery, which sheaths and slivers off Mr. Boots teeth got embedded under a few of the bites were removed and infected “dirty skin removal” around the bites and the remaining days last week in the hospital were loads of blood work taken every 4 hours, hand soaks and dressings every 5 hours, and loads of rounds of powerful antibiotics to keep the infections out of my bloodstream.

The most important part of this? I HAD NO IDEA How Bad CAT BITES ARE than Dog Bites.

Here is what you need to know and NEVER HESITATE to go to the ER if you get cat bites that penetrate your skin. And I never knew all this.

……

Image result for why are cat bites dangerous


……
Cat bites
 can be dangerous both to other animals and to humans. In their mouths, all cats carry a large number of bacteria that are capable of causing tissue infections in bite wounds. … Infected people may suffer from fever and flu-like symptoms and, rarely, but may die if proper medical treatment is not sought.

Although cats have no more germs in their mouths than dogs or people, researchers at the Mayo Clinic found that when cats bite, their sharp teeth can inject hard-to-treat bacteria deeply into the skin and joints, increasing the risk for serious infection …
They can seed bacteria in the joint and tendon sheaths.”
THIS IS WHAT happened in my Cat Bite case!

 

PLEASE READ THIS ARTICLE to learn WHY you should go to the ER if your CAT BITES you as it could save your LIFE…  https://pets.webmd.com/cats/news/20140209/cat-bites-may-lead-to-serious-infections-hospitalizations
“Felines’ sharp teeth can inject harmful bacteria deep into joints and tissue, doctors warn”

Cat bites may look less serious than dog bites, but beware: They can cause dangerous infections, particularly when they involve the hand, new research indicates.

Although cats have no more germs in their mouths than dogs or people, researchers at the Mayo Clinic found that when cats bite, their sharp teeth can inject hard-to-treat bacteria deeply into the skin and joints, increasing the risk for serious infection.

Now I need my friends and author/writer communities HELP! We do have some health insurance but it only covers HALF of what my costs are going to be.

If you would like to help a fellow WRITER with Blessings of a Donation to help cover my hospital costs, I would be deeply grateful and especially now with one more surgery coming up as well. If you need an invoice for your donation, I’d be happy to send one and just need your Email Address. No amount is too small and please know how much it will help!

I will always love my 3 Cats even after all this. I will keep everyone updated as I hope to be back to work soon writing and on social media too.

And Thank You to all who have sent me well wishes as it keeps me upbeat and feeling inspired and LOVED! xoxo

Author Rusty Blackwood is Pleased to Be Here Today!

……

……..

Greetings everyone!

I am so excited to have been invited by Coffee Time Romance to take part in their interesting Blog feature surrounding me and my work, answer your questions – hopefully, you will have lots to inquire about in different areas – and I will be most happy to accommodate you as best I can.

I have loved to write but did not get the chance to seriously do so until 2001, when I threw my hat in the ring and began to write with the intentions of seeing where it might take me. I am not professionally trained in the field, but I have always possessed a natural flair for expressive written word accompanied by an endless imagination to support them. I self-published my first title in 2009, my first poetry collection, titled Feelings: A Rhythmic Journey in Thought. This title – which unfortunately is no longer available – was the first of twelve titles thus far.

I write in four genres, poetry, children’s short stories, adult comedy, and romantic fiction drama – my favorite genre and the one for which  I am best known.  As you can see in the photo above, I am at a bustling Indigo – in Ancaster, Ontario – signing for my newest romance/drama, The Perils of Autumn, published by Tellwell Talent, a Readers Favorite Books 5-star-award-winning novel, and now a Finalist in this year’s International Book Awards …

NOW ALREADY A READERS FAVORITE and AMAZING BOOK REVIEW and AMAZON READERS TOO …

July 5, 2019 – 5-Stars out of 5

Format: Paperback

RF BOOK REVIEW:

Reviewed by Maria Beltran for Readers’ Favorite:

…..
My Dog is More Enlightened Than I Am by Maureen Scanlon is a beautiful self-help book which, as the title suggests, takes its inspiration from man’s best friend. Relax Whenever You Can, Be Spontaneous, Appreciate Our Differences, Take Care of Each Other, Self Care, No Regrets, and Be Curious are especially true and, I presume, all dog owners and lovers will be reminded of their canine friends and can easily relate to these first six chapters. The rest of the topics take their cue from the law of attraction with the writer sharing some of her experiences, both painful and joyous.

Maureen Scanlon is a certified life and spiritual coach and dynamic professional speaker as her book exhort’s readers to emulate these loyal and carefree creatures that have been important parts of many people’s lives in more ways than one. One of the things that make this book intriguing is that we don’t only get to know her dogs Jade and Brodie but the feeling that they are hugely instrumental in the production of this inspirational work, thus they are co-authors of this book.

All of us would like to make the most out of our lives and may look everywhere for inspiration, not realizing that the animals around us can help us find the peace and happiness we seek. My Dog is More Enlightened than I Am opens our eyes to the fact that there are a lot of things we can learn from animals, especially from these loyal furry creatures that will always be there for us.

A Practical Read and Guide To The

……..

,,,,

Find the Seeker! by Zen Master Genro Xuan Lou, Laoshi and his pupil, Zen teacher Clifford Stevens, takes us on an inner pilgrimage, compassionately picking us up where we are, whether beginners or longstanding seekers. Based on the wisdom and profound, first-hand experience of a modern-day Master as well as the teachings of enlightened ones, a book that reboots our search of the “the mysteries” and our ‘spiritual side in order to renew our limiting, thought-driven and ego-dominated lives. Focusing on the spiritual dimension underlying Existence which all of us share, the book addresses people of all faiths who suffer, are unhappy and seek to lead more fulfilling lives.

“Find the Seeker!” is not a wishy-washy, feel-good book offering a quick fix or esoteric porridge or pandering to those who want a spiritual baby rattle to rely on. Instead, it serves as a traveling companion and guide, enticing readers with the vision of what we really are – Absolute, eternal and unconditional Being, whole and divine – which can only be directly experienced and embodied. It serves as a powerful wake-up call for those who mistakenly believe in their being separate from the Oneness and living in a state of duality, reminding us that the Kingdom of God is really within us.

Although written by a Zen Master and using some Zen stories, the focus is not on explaining Zen, its tenets or history. The book is in stark contrast to the majority of books which indulge in superficial descriptions or sayings and provide seemingly “precise” instructions, lists of goals or steps to take which trap us into continuing our dependency on intermediaries and religious institutions or our self-delusion of being less than we really are. Instead, accompanying the authors along the age-old pathless path we have always been on, we are called upon to empty ourselves and “drop” all our preconceptions and expectations and the limited “self” which thinks it has a life of its own, as well as the heavy backpack with all our experiences and learnings.

The book holds up a mirror to our worldly existence, suffering and the intricate workings of the ego, which entraps us in the never-ending soap opera and the roller coaster of life’s ups and downs. We are led to live mindfully in the here-now, delve more deeply into ourselves and to be Self-reliant – enabling our inner guru to unfold our true nature so that we can abide in the one Self. In this way seekers become finders, and we can become the Oneness we already are, enjoying the true vibrant bliss and lightness of Being that is inherently ours …

A Practical Guide to Trusting the Mystery of Life
February 26, 2019. * * * * * Format: Paperback

 

 

 

Let’s Celebrate With Author, Joe Siccardi By Sharing His Cover Reveal of His New Release, ‘My Name Is Sam’… Share It On Your Book Blog!

New Pre-Order Release and Cover Reveal for Author, Joe Siccardi …
Courtesy of Welcome to Father Says …

Today’s the day!

Ready to take a peek at this summer’s reading sensation {hopefully}?

Announcing my new release and a cover reveal of My Name Is Sam … and Heaven Is Still Shining Through as it is now available for pre-order on Amazon Kindle online.  The latest effort is a novelization of my March 2018 debut release of the novella Heaven Shining Through, which has been claiming rave reviews by book reviewers and book bloggers alike.

…..
cover-e1560268257851

…..
While some of the core information from Heaven is incorporated in My Name Is Sam, the new venture expands the characters and extends the story beyond the novella. It is written in the first person, more like a memoir — a fictional memoir. I tried to incorporate that feel from the start. In fact, the introduction reads like a letter directly from Sam.

I have to tell you, for the past six months or so, I have been Samantha {I know that sounds weird}. Each time I sat down to write a scene, my thought process included was what would Sam do? What would Chad do? How would her mother react?

Like the first novella, this novel isn’t always pretty … but I think it is real. Samantha (the lead) is strong-willed and had a lot of dates, leading to some confrontations with her mother. She was equally strong in her resolve to remain pure. There is a scene when she and her then-boyfriend make love; however, the focus is the aftermath — the remorse, the regret by both Sam and Chad.

I try to promote a dash of faith within my writing. No matter what, God loves us and forgives us. Honestly, neither the novella nor the novel was intended to be “Christian” literature, but rather reading material everyone could enjoy without an overt Christian message. I intentionally did not want to preach to the choir. They are stories of reconciliation, self-awareness, and accomplishment. And they do deal with the sometimes messiness of life.

I am planning a formal book launch July 2, 6 p.m., at the Thompson Free
Library, Dover-Foxcroft, ME. It is my intent to live stream the event in hopes you might join and share the fun. I hope you will take advantage of the exclusive e-book pre-order sale and order your copy today at only $2.99 on Amazon Kindle!  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07SRX1HGV/

Other presentations around Maine and possibly New Jersey, Ohio and New York are being contemplated. If anyone is interested in hosting or suggesting a venue, let me know at wisdomfromafather@gmail.com.

I would be willing to address your book club or group. for a visit. If you 2wanted to invite a few friends for coffee or iced tea, we could gather to just meet and greet, catch up, talk about My Name Is Sam … and Heaven Is Still Shining Through and the publishing process, maybe sign and/or sell a few books and bring you up to date with projects planned.

Exciting times!

THOUGHT TO REMEMBER: We’re not guaranteed tomorrow. This is the only day we know for sure.
